Fixed prices

Spring cleaning prices in Kensington and Chelsea

What a spring clean costs in Kensington and Chelsea. The number of rooms, how many cupboard interiors and windows are in scope, and London's hard water — limescale on taps, screens and tiling is the single biggest time cost in a spring clean here. The borough-specific additions here come from the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages.
Spring cleaning price guide for Kensington and Chelsea
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or one-bed flat spring clean£1454–5 hrsPriced on rooms and reachable surfaces rather than the clock, so a compact flat is never billed as a house.
Two-bedroom flat or maisonette£1955–7 hrsA second bathroom and more cupboard interiors are what add the hours, not the extra bedroom itself.
Three-bedroom house£2657–9 hrsStairs, a hallway and usually two bathrooms mean a two-cleaner team for most of the day.
Four-bedroom house or larger£3401 dayTwo or three cleaners on site together, because a spring clean loses its point if it is spread over two visits.
Add interior windows and frames£451–2 hrsSash windows across London terraces come apart to clean properly, which is careful work rather than fast work.
Add oven, extractor and fridge strip-down£751–2 hrsRacks and filters are dip-tanked off site, which is a separate consumable and equipment cost.

Domestic prices are the total you pay, with all materials and equipment brought by the team. Landlord and agent invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Where a permit, bay suspension, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the visit is booked.

Working in Kensington and Chelsea

Why Kensington and Chelsea is not a generic London job

The Natural History Museum and Notting Hill's Portobello Road is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Kensington and Chelsea.

The housing stock

The stock in Kensington and Chelsea is stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea tenancies and local letting agents in Kensington and Chelsea both work to a written standard rather than a general impression of clean. We work to that list, photograph the finish and re-attend free if the inventory clerk disagrees.

How the borough got this way

Why it looks like this: market gardens turned into the great exhibition's albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the victorian wealthy.

Scope

What's included in Kensington and Chelsea

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bayswater or Westbourne Park.

Included in the price

  • A written room-by-room task list agreed before the visit, so nothing is assumed
  • Inside kitchen cupboards and drawers emptied, wiped and relined where you have cleared them
  • Behind and under free-standing appliances and furniture the team can safely move
  • Skirting, door frames, switch plates, radiators, picture rails and cornice dusted and washed
  • Limescale removed from taps, shower screens and tiling, with grout scrubbed rather than sprayed
  • Blinds, curtain poles, light fittings and extractor grilles cleaned, and interior windows on request

Not included

  • Exterior windows above ground-floor level, which need a reach-and-wash or cradle operator
  • Clearing and disposing of contents — that is a clearance booking, and we will quote both together
  • Mould remediation where the cause is structural damp rather than surface condensation
  • Moving heavy furniture, pianos or safes, and anything that needs two people to lift safely

Method

How a Kensington and Chelsea booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Kensington and Chelsea job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Agree the task list

    Rooms, cupboard interiors, windows and any add-ons confirmed in writing, so the price and the scope match.

  2. Step 2

    Top-down, room by room

    Cornice and light fittings first, then walls and joinery, then furniture, then floors — nothing lands on a surface already cleaned.

  3. Step 3

    Kitchen and bathroom detail

    Cupboard interiors, appliance seals, grout, taps and shower screens descaled, which is where a London hard-water property shows its age.

  4. Step 4

    Soft furnishings and glass

    Blinds, poles, upholstery vacuumed and interior glass and frames finished streak-free.

  5. Step 5

    Walk-through before we leave

    You check the list with the team leader and anything not right is redone on the spot.

Local questions

Spring cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea — your questions

  • How much does a spring clean cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Studio or one-bed flat spring clean starts at £145 in Kensington and Chelsea, and the ladder runs up to £75 for the largest job on the table above. The number of rooms, how many cupboard interiors and windows are in scope, and London's hard water — limescale on taps, screens and tiling is the single biggest time cost in a spring clean here. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Kensington and Chelsea postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SW10, SW3, SW5, SW7, W10, W11, W14, W2 and W8. On the ground that includes Bayswater, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Kensington and Ladbroke Grove.

  • How quickly can you get to Kensington and Chelsea?

    Slots inside the week across every borough, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Kensington and Chelsea flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the Lancaster West and World's End estates is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Employed, DBS-checked cleaners with £5m public liability cover, COSHH data sheets carried for every product and a public liability certificate supplied to the managing agent before a communal area or goods lift is used. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    Two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Kensington and Chelsea postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Exterior windows above ground-floor level, which need a reach-and-wash or cradle operator, Clearing and disposing of contents — that is a clearance booking, and we will quote both together and Mould remediation where the cause is structural damp rather than surface condensation. If something on that list turns up in Kensington and Chelsea, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Ana and her team cleaned performed a deep clean of our 3 bedroom home in London after we’d sold it, prior to the new buyers moving in.

Diana and Alex carried out a deep clean for my property prior to new tenants arriving. The actually cleaning was superb and I would highly recommend them. The only downside was the office and booking system. The poor couple had to travel from Wimbledon to sidcup after waiting for the previous client to attend and… Read in full →
